Not rteally fair at all when you consider guys like Gronholm made appearances in lesser A8 cars before they got a proper break than others like Loeb who's been in a top team since the word go. Same with Rossi. He's been in a top team ever since he came from 250's
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

you know what loeb said, it is harder to be a champion for rally than f1. i won't dispute that, but they are two different sports.
it is extremely difficult to win 50% of rally you enter, that is an impossible feat.
what i would like to see is how well some driver do when they convert sport. i'm counting on loeb to win le mans 2007.

Croatia is nice in TV, but for the fans it isnt so great. Waking up at 2:30 to watch just 2 passes of SS9, cuz there is just NO entrance to the stage
